'Topsy'

[Ferry_vO]

A nice addition to our CFS2 library that works great in Fs9 too:

Wolfi does some great stuff, takes me back to the days of the Metal Dreams Topsy in CFS2.

Yep, Wolfi does nice stuff. His Helldiver, Stuka B model and Nell are all nice planes and will always be in my CFS2 and FS9 installs. The "Topsy" will be added to my hangar for sure. Just wondering how she will look in gleaming, reflective bare metal....hmmmmmmmm!

In the CFS2 thread Wolfi mentions he will also release a military paint with it's own model.

Downloading it now. This will fill a gap in my transport collection.

Piston-powered box haulers are always good!

I'm having a few issues with it, but sorting through them.

After fixing the usual conversion engine idle issue, it flies pretty nicely about what you'd expect for an early 40s twin engine transport. I also added the missing entries for the fltsim section of the aircraft.cfg to make it easier to find in the aircraft menu and allow for proper ATC function.

It's a keeper now.

Great find !!! Mike

I like this, yes. Always room in my hangars for Japanese planes.

I think this plane would maybe like some repaints.

You guys like a FS2004 version? Then I need a panel cfg for FS2004, I can make a quick MDL for FS2004. For a final FS2004 version I need more time.

In the zip below is an untested FS2004 MDL file
About the model, the outlines are I will say close to the real aircraft, I unfortunately don’t found any 3 view drawing or useable picture about the internal aircraft.

The Topsy looks great....and I could care less if it isn't totally accurate. The lines of the plane are sleek, smooth, and...dare I say it....sexy! The panel set up is nice and clean and really doesn't need much work to be fully usable in FS2004, other than adding a radio stack, a GPS (for folks like me who can't find their way through the FS9 world without having an arrow pointing us in the right direction). Toss in some lights in the aircraft.cfg file and this plane is ready for the Big Show.

If you don't mind, I will take a crack at modifying the MDL file for the civilian transport and give it full reflective textures....the plane will look great with gleaming bare metal skins.

Hello Wolfi and thanks again for a wonderful aircraft. Your MC-20/Ki-57 looks great and works well in FS9. The outlines are accurate and the interior is very nice. Just a few tweaks and some personal modifications (lights, instruments, etc.) and it was ready to go. I have been flying the MC-20 around Japan for the last three days and it is a real joy. Well done sir!

I agree.

John, would you be willing to share the lights you've added?
